Microsoft calls it “the most technically advanced display we’ve ever built.” The display also supports Dolby Vision and Adaptive Color Technology. In fact, it’s 11 percent larger than before, 12.5 percent brighter, and with 11 percent higher resolution, according to Microsoft. The 13-inch PixelSense Flow Display, as Microsoft calls it, is larger than the 12.3-inch display found on most other Surface Pro devices, and it has a higher resolution, too. The Surface Pro 8 has a larger 13-inch display. It’s the Surface Pro we’ve been waiting years for. Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 has taken most of the best parts of the Surface Pro X and paired them with an Intel chip.
While we’ve seen tweaks to the design of the Surface Pro for seven years, the Surface Pro 8 jumps to a 120Hz display with thinner bezels, Thunderbolt 4 support, and a new keyboard that neatly houses an upgraded Surface Slim Pen 2. Microsoft is announcing the Surface Pro 8 today, the biggest upgrade to its Intel-powered Surface Pro lineup since the Surface Pro 3 in 2014.
